I will be heading out on Wednesday morning (0400) for the two day drive to Rockport.

Who else is planning on attending?

I am leaving early Tuesday morning in my Alpine. Need to leave early to get through Chicago and around the bottom of the lake in Indiana.

We're driving from Maryland on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the Series III is one week away from completion and still in California. I guess the Camaro won't be welcome in the concours

I've made it as far as Roanoke, VA from Atlanta and plan to proceed along I-81 to Scranton tomorrow if weather permits. I have no windshield wipers, apparently a short is present that involves the tach.

So...time to A) RainX the windscreen, B) wait on the mid-Atlantic storm to pass, C) see if unhooking the tach will enable the wipers <s> until I can straighten out the wiring...

Way to go Allan! I was wondering how far you got today. Do you have a top on the Tiger? Yea Rainx the fire outta that windscreen. Best of Luck and I will be watching for the post.

Cheers,

I fixed the wipers this morning before leaving Drums, Pa-- accordingly got a late start--but made it to Wells, Maine.

I plan to take a coast road the rest of the way to Rockland tomorrow morning.

I think the SAOCA folks should do a group photo with our 'beams .

Thanks for the post Allan. Good to see the Tiger is doing well.

United was a very good time and the hotel accomodations were beautiful. I hadn't traveled through Maine (I am only a couple of hours away from the state, too) so it was a good experience.

BTW< The Minx ran pretty well other than a minor Electrical issue and the slave cylinder to the clutch gave out partially.

steve,
there were a lot of nice cars there also! i enjoyed talking with you about the # 74. i think it was neat that an alpine was voted the most popular car instead of a tiger.

 

[sunbeam74]

Some day we will have to have a Rootes racing car reunion at an Invasion or a United. I'd love to see the old Buzz Marcus car and many of the others all together in one location.

(BTW< I just saw another entry list where Buzz was racing the Alpine in 1965.... I will have to dig it out.)

for those that don't know,allan got the trophy for DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. first place in the premier class ( first place winners in all classes the last three years ) was my 69GT. it also was voted most desirable rootes vehicle. duke also went home with several trophies.

Bob,
Doug was telling me how really neat was the Owl's head museum. I know they have some vintage aircraft there, that are very nice. Lots of other nice cars besides Sunbeams, he said were there. That's great, sounds like a great time.

jan,
there were a lot of neat,unusual vehicles. some of the bicycles were unbelievable. just watching them trying to start the biplanes was a treat.
